Re: Base boost fine, so BPC valve culprit? Posted by Ari [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Base boost fine, so BPC valve culprit?, shortlid, Wed, 18 Jan 2006 13:13:48 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Yes, it is most likely the BPC. As to running the car this way, yes, you can. It won't do any damage. In fact, when I was looking to buy a 9K about a year and a half ago, I found a very clean CSE that had the BPC wired out just this way. I noticed the car was missing that kick, but it still performed OK.
Your MPG may or may not improve. Obviously, with less boost, the engine consumes less fuel. However, it's still up to your driving. If you stick your foot into it, you'll use gas. You'll just find yourself running the engine at higher RPM to get performance, and that uses gas. Now, I'm talking about max power highway merges, hole-shots from stop lights, and other 'agressive' driving. With normal, cops-ignore-you driving, you may see a MPG improvement, mostly because the joy pedal isn't quite the same joy.
